I'm sure you all already know Tom's, the famous footwear company that donates one pair of shoes to somebody in need for every purchased pair. I guess they don't need any further introduction, so here's just some of my favourites from their current collection! What's your favourite?

"In 2006, TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie befriended children in a village in Argentina and saw that they didn’t have adequate shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes for a child in need. One for One.® In 2011, the One for One model was expanded and TOMS Eyewear was launched. With every pair purchased, TOMS helps restore sight to a person in need. One for One."

Nowadays, Tom's makes also glasses with the same principal, and coffee, too! With every bag of coffee purchased, they supply clean water to those in need. Great, right? The founder, Blake Mycoskie, has also written a book titled Start Something That Matters. Is there anybody who has read it? I'd like to know if it's really that good! 

Hope everybody had a great weekend, here in France we're on holiday, celebrating the 14th of July! See you later :)

Kaikki varmaan tuntevat jo Tom's -merkin, jonka erikoisuutena on se, että jokaista ostettua kenkäparia vastaan lahjoitetaan kengät niitä tarvitseville. Nykyään merkki myy myös laseja samalla periaatteella, ja uusimpana aluevaltauksena on kahvi! Jokaista kahvipakettia vastaan tarjotaan puhdasta vettä alueilla, joissa siitä on pulaa. Merkin perustaja, Blake Mycoskie, vaikuttaa kyllä aika inspiroivalta tyypiltä, ja onpa kaveri ehtinyt kirjoittaa kirjankin. Onko joku ehtinyt lukea? Alkoi tehdä mieli lukea tuo opus, mietin onko se yhtä hyvä kuin kehutaan :)

Tässä muuten muutamia suosikkejani tämänhetkisestä kokelmasta, mistä itse tykkäilet eniten? Ja hei, toivottavasti kaikkien viikonloppu sujui mukavasti, täällä Ranskassa se vielä jatkuu kansallispäivân merkeissä :) Nyt kutsuu juhlapäivän lounas, näkyillään!

    Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of
    the pictures aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking
    issue. I've tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.
